Chapter 264: Wang Yannian’s Doubts
After Ma Junjie was delivered to Bureau 751 by Su Lin, major families like the Liu family and Xiao family received the news immediately.
Xiao Feiyu, after hanging up the phone, furrowed his brows and sighed, “It looks like Su Lin has really tied himself to Bureau 751, but it’s unclear what kind of cooperation they have that would garner such strong support from Bai Qikun.”
Wang Yannian also expressed his confusion, “I know a bit about Bai Qikun; he’s a man of integrity, old-fashioned and serious. The idea of him getting involved with Su Lin is almost unthinkable, and now they’re closely cooperating, it’s certainly something to ponder.”
“It seems like Su Lin must have offered something extraordinary; otherwise, Bai Qikun wouldn’t have gone against his principles to help him.”
Wang Yannian then turned to Xiao Feiyu and said, “Feiyu, don’t you have the ability to foresee the future? You’re destined to fight Su Lin to the end, so there should be some fragments about him appearing in your visions.”
Xiao Feiyu shivered; he suddenly felt like he wasn’t in a simulation but in a real world where everyone is a real, living person. He had previously fooled Wang Yannian with his supposed foresight abilities.
But he knew his “ability” was entirely fabricated by himself, and with the main character of this world dead, everything had moved into the unknown, greatly diminishing his “foresight.”
As his interactions with Wang Yannian deepened, it was inevitable that Wang Yannian would discover the falsity of his abilities. However, he hadn’t expected him to start doubting so soon. Xiao Feiyu inwardly sighed; truly, Wang Yannian was worthy of his reputation as a cunning man.
After a moment of thought, he said, “How could I possibly know such confidential things about him? If I knew, Su Lin wouldn’t be a problem anymore. But it’s normal for him to work closely with Bai Qikun.”
In his view, Su Lin was the new protagonist. Isn’t a protagonist supposed to have all the big shots as subordinates and beautiful women by his side? Su Lin fits the protagonist mold perfectly, so knowing this wasn’t surprising.
Wang Yannian narrowed his eyes at Xiao Feiyu and finally nodded, “What you say makes sense, but your foresight ability seems rather weak. Do you have any news about the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill’s ingredients?”
Xiao Feiyu knew that if he didn’t come up with a convincing answer now, Wang Yannian might turn against him. Since the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill required a cultivator as a crucial component to its creation, he wasn’t worried that Wang Yannian could make it after getting the recipe. Mentioning a few ingredients wouldn’t matter.
Xiao Feiyu nodded, “I’ve seen a glimpse of the future again and indeed found out about some ingredients.”
Wang Yannian pursed his lips, and if not for the invaluable nature of the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill, he might have ended Xiao Feiyu with a single blow. His frown quickly turned into a smile, “Then let’s hear it. I’ll see if I can find them.”
“Alright…” As Xiao Feiyu listed the ingredients one by one, Wang Yannian’s expression subtly changed, and he could instantly tell whether the materials were genuine.
Despite the complexity of making the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill, Wang Yannian had studied it for many years and had some insights. At least, he could quickly determine whether Xiao Feiyu was lying to him.
At the Su Corporation, Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu saw Su Lin return and carefully checked him over.
Su Lin laughed as he was spun around by the two women, “It’s okay, didn’t I say over the phone that Aunt Su handled it alone?”
Lin Xiaowan sighed, “We need to see for ourselves to be reassured.”
Xia Shiyu nodded, “Xiaowan is right, Su Lin. We’re all worried things might develop like last time.”
“What if you got hurt?”
Su Lin chuckled, “If it developed like last time, that would actually be good. The problem now is that Xiao Feiyu won’t face us directly. If it were a direct confrontation, I could take him down instantly, but the guy hides at home, surrounded by several Human Immortals, and that’s just what we see; who knows what’s hidden behind the scenes…”
“If we fought and won, that’d be fine, but if he escaped, you would be in danger.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaowan’s face fell, “In the end, Xia Shiyu and I are just holding you back. Without us, you wouldn’t have these concerns.”
Su Lin pinched Lin Xiaowan’s nose, smiling, “Without you, where would I find such clever, thrifty girlfriends?” He hugged them both, “Xiaowan, Xiayou, you can’t think like this in the future.”
“People like Xiao Feiyu, we’re bound to encounter them again, so it’s inevitable. It’s not your lack of strength to blame; it’s just that these idiots are too idle and love stirring up trouble.”
Lin Xiaowan clenched her fist, “I feel like I could become a Grandmaster at any moment, Su Lin, just watch; it won’t be long before I can help you too.”
“I feel the same.”
Hearing the women’s words, Su Lin was surprised. He knew exactly why his own level had improved so rapidly. Without the system, he would be just an ordinary person, and Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan were indeed just ordinary people. He hadn’t expected their breakthroughs to come so swiftly.
Is this the treatment of a heroine? He pondered for a moment; Xiao Feiyu’s breakthrough as the protagonist wasn’t as fast. Why was that? S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After thinking for a while without coming up with a reason, Su Lin decided not to dwell on it anymore. After all, isn’t it great that the protagonist can’t beat him right now? Or would it be better if they could overpower him and he got beaten up every day?
Checking the time, Su Lin patted the women’s shoulders, “It’s about time; let’s clock out and go home.”
“Okay!”
“Okay…”
